How do I configure an external app for an account using a client ID?

[#1]

External apps that support LTI 1.3 and LTI Advantage require configuration using a client ID. The client ID can be found by configuring an LTI key from the Developer Keys page.

Notes:

• Manually configuring an external app is an account permission. If you cannot configure an external app, this permission has not been enabled for your user role.
• Disabling or deleting the LTI key removes the application installs.

Open Account

Click the Admin link [1], then click the name of the account [2].

Open Settings

In Account Navigation, click the Settings link.

Open Apps

Click the Apps tab.

Note: If you do not have a client ID, you must first configure an LTI key.

View Error Message

If the submitted client ID is not found in your account's developer keys, Canvas will display an error message.

If the app supports LTI Advantage, the Settings menu may also display a Deployment ID link.

To view the Deployment ID for the app, click the Deployment ID link [5]. App providers who utilize LTI Advantage may require this Deployment ID for app functionality.
